Download video from a course

Hello, Tiago,

We removed the option to right-click and download a video in Rise 360 to protect course authors' intellectual property. We made this change on October 29, 2019.

Read more about that change and the other new video features on our version history page. 

Hello! I recently submitted a ticket about this, and the support person made an enhancement request on my behalf that I need the ability to download videos that I have uploaded to Rise. I understand not wanting learners to download videos to protect intellectual property. But if I'm editing a Rise course, with my Articulate license, it seems I should have access to this. 

So, please bring this feature back for course authors.

Never mind. I mean, I guess it would be a nice feature, but I just read on another thread that I can get the videos from the .zip export file, and that is working for me!

thanks Annie, you have just made my day by knowing this. Phew!

That's right, Annie!

Here's an easy way to access a video file you used in a Rise course:

1. Export the course for Web.
2. Open the zipped output folder, and you'll find another folder called "assets." All of the media files can be found inside that folder. 
3. Scroll through the files in the assets folder until you find the one you need. Move that video file to your desktop.

Thank you Annie! I am editing a course from a member of staff who's since left. I was so close to re-recording an entire system walk-through before I found this. Amazing.

Adding my thanks for this workaround as well – this really helped me out today!

Yes this was so helpful and easy to do :) Thank you so very much!!!

This seems to no longer be working? I have several videos in my course, none of which appear in the Assets folder. I was so excited to find this, too. 

You can "inspect" inside Rise to find the video source link:

Right-click in Rise (not on the video block)

Go to "Inspect"

Scroll down through the code until the video block that you want to extract the video from gets highlighted

Use the "Down Arrows" to get down to the video file path source you can eventually get down to the link where the video is stored.  You'll see "src=" before a long link in a block that says "video" in it.

Copy that link and paste into your browser.

Right-click on the video and select "Save Video As"

I am trying to download a video from a Rise course template, "A Guide to Mentoring Others."

I have tried the steps above and am still unable to download a video.  I want to reduce the length of time of the video.

Does anyone have a workaround?  I'd appreciated it so I can use this with our audience.

Hi Christine!

You should be able to access the video files in the "A Guide to Mentoring Others" course by following these steps:

1. Export the Rise 360 course for Web.
2. Open the zipped output folder.
3. Click to open the assets folder. 
4. Click to open the rbc folder.
5. Scroll through the MP4 files in the rbc folder until you find the one you need. Move that video file to your desktop.

Let me know if that helps you! 

I need to a do a quick edit on a video which is uploaded in a RIse course, just to adjust the volume from the initial recording. It should be a quick and easy fix, download, edit, replace video. I edit hundreds of videos and it would be very time consuming to go back to my library to find it. Also publishing the entire course, searching for the video etc. is also time consuming. As are the other suggestions in this post.

There is no right mouse click or download option on videos. For developers it would be nice if you could please return this feature, simply for the creators, while blocking learners for content protection is admirable, it is also a hindrance at times. Even adding a developer's option to choose to download or turn it off, defaulting at no or course, for the sake of pleasing my stakeholders if they desire to request it.

Giving us the option of downloading your own video content while editing your Rise course would save a lot of extra walk-around steps which would help us be more time management efficient. As loyal Articulate ambassadors, as members of the building Articulate Community, we all encourage companies to purchase Articulate Suite yearly subscriptions, we need your support to help simplify our toolbox while using your product. Thank you. 

Surely you should have access to the original uploaded video file? The video you download will not be the same quality or compression etc as the original video uploaded to Rise.

How do you export the course for web? 

Hi Ricardo,

Open your course.

Click on PUBLISH in the top-right hand corner.

Select Web.

Rise will publish the course in a Web format in a ZIP file.

Thank you, and Good point. And as I said in my comment, I have 100s of videos in my files and I needed a fast fix with limited time to search my system for the proper edited ver. i was agreeing with this article that it's convenient for us, as builders to be excluded from the block functions list, as end users of course at times need to be, but not the builders, we need all the help we can get for the sake of efficient time management. Even if I could edit the video right in Rise, and alter the audio it would be super helpful. Just to have a few editing functions added for a quick video edit would be great. Storyline has one, as does Replay of course but there are tweaks required in Rise as well that pop up.
